above London at night


A fascinating variation on the standard 'from the air' books is this new book featuring photos of London taken at night or in twilight. New digital cameras now provide opportunities that were never available with film.

Naturally many details visible during the day disappear, but nearly all streets are lit up at night with streetlights, as are most landmarks while buildings become patterns of connected light dots and most are recognisable. The result is a literal overview of one of the world's most vibrant cities during its night-time persona.

The book has 160 pages in 255 mm square format, hardcover.
